Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Hiller, PA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Hiller who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
